Due to the smaller numbers of the army in comparison to their enemies, the battle tactics of Rupert's Land are very distinct and unique. When on the offense, they utilize guerilla warfare tactics, usually sneaking up on their enemies and striking when least expected, followed by a quick organized retreat. Defensively, the impenetrable walls and massive trenches around Northwest Co. offer a significant homefield advantage. Most underprepared attackers are intimidated by the sight of the city's defenses and leave immediately, while larger and more powerful armies are forced to siege the city rather than attack directly. However, due to the self-sufficiency of the city, sieges are often in vain. Individually, the warriors of the Rupert's Land militia are powerful and well-equipped, making small-scale engagements such as duels, or more commonly, raids on small settlements favorable for the militia.

Due to a policy of isolationism, Rupert's Land very rarely deals with outside nations. However, there are a few nations the country is openly aligned or at odds with.

Norway and Quebec are the two nations officially hostile towards Rupert's Land, often engaging in skirmishes and sometimes larger-scale battles with one another. These rivalries root back to the foundation of the Quebec town of Saint-Jerome, where 754 and Skildo assassinated several residents and robbed their belongings. Since then, Saint-Jerome and Norway established an alliance, and as a result, during the second attack on Saint-Jerome, a Norwegian declared open hostilities with Rupert's Land. Norway has led numerous attacks and ambushes on Rupertians, and has even launched multiple sieges on Northwest Co. itself. Meanwhile, Rupertian attacks on Saint-Jerome and surrounding Quebec settlements have become increasingly common. The true casus belli for declaration of hostility between Rupert's Land and Quebec was given when Skildo, 268 ed an enslavement of a Lithuanian In response to the attacks, Quebec declared Rupert's Land an enemy nation, and relations between the two countries have ceased. Outside of rival nations, many individuals are openly hostile towards Rupert's Land, viewing the nation as a glorified group of bandits and marauders.

Rupert's Land is currently aligned with five nations: The Kalmar Union, British Columbia, North Rio, Weston and Rio Grande. The Kalmar-Rupertian alliance was formed in response to Norwegian hostilities, due to the long-time rivalry of border disputes, nationalism and war between Norway and the Kalmar Union. British Columbia and Rupert's Land began talks not long after, citing the importance of peace and unity between western Canadian nations, and putting an end to the increasingly concerning territorial dispute and borderline cold war between the two countries. Soon after, Rio Grande, North Rio, and Weston all simultaneously approached Rupert's Land with proposals of alliance, despite the attack on Northwest Co. by the three countries before nationhood was achieved. Alliances with all three nations were quickly formed, and further North American unity was assured.
